Sunroof lubricant grease!?
Hi All,
Please advice, need to lubricate my panoramic sunroof in 2014 ML.
What will be the right grease to use?

Thank you All, and happy Thanksgiving!

I’ve been told by my mechanic to use silicone spray lube on rubber friction surfaces. Here’s a good video

Thank you for the video. In this video they use MB grease part # A001-989-14-51
I was wondering if there are alternatives, this one is 1Lb and cost $70.
And Im not sure what is based on.

Krytox is what you want, but you can buy small pots of MB brand grease on ebay. The thing is this stuff does not collect dirt like normal grease, just like a lock.

Silicone spray lube is used on rubber seals to help if there is any squealing noises from the seals.

For the sunroof track you'll want something like this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-.../0019894651~a/

You guys are showing a lub that you wipe on with a brush but you mention "spray Lube".

Where's the spray?
